Quiet Faith

One person who embodies this ideal, even though he has gained more fame than most of us will, is former NBA player and coach Monty Williams. Unless you’re an avid basketball fan, you’ve probably never heard of Williams. Cray Allred shares some of Williams’s story and writes of him: “More than a Christian who has beaten the odds and taken the world by storm, I hope to aspire to the quiet, dignified example of a Monty Williams. A believer’s greatest display of faith won’t come during championship press conference, as the whole world’s proverbial right hand sees what their left hand is up to. I would rather serve off the radar, in the still spaces where God’s glory can’t be mistaken for my own. Monty Williams, an obvious source of hope for others struck by disaster, has accomplished that. May the Lord grant him continued peace” (Cray Allred, “Touchdown Jesus: Monty Williams and the Quiet Life of Faith,” Christ and Pop Culture, February 16, 2016, https://christandpopculture.com/touchdown-jesus-monty-williams-and-the-quiet-life-of-faith/). In what small ways are you living out your faith? How have you seen small things make a big difference in your life?
